My poor little monkey really hasnt had a great start to the year!- the vet is very pessimistic and truely beleives it will have to be removed
Just wondering if anyone has had to go through this operation- the vet said it is a very tricky op to do and will need a vet whom is very experienced in soft tissue surgery to perform it!- he will only have the one removed as the other has had no problems at all!
My daughter is facing the same problem as you with George, her Japanese Chin. I have not known quite what to advise her, except to add bran to his dinner & not to rush into an operation too quickly.
I have know occasions when a dog has had a run of anal gland abscesses and then gone for years without a problem.
My Monty had both anal glands removed by my vet because of a continual low grade infection.
The vet had to cut very deep to remove all the gland and there were concerns that Monty may be incontinent of faeces.
He was okay, but to have that happen to a much loved dog living within the family, is not a risk to be taken lightly.
